GAP: good agricultural practice; STMR: supervised trials median residue; CF: conversion factor for enforcement residue definition to risk assessment residue definition; HR: highest residue; PF: processing factor; MRL: maximum residue level; Mo: monitoring.

* Indicates that the input value is proposed at the limit of quantification.

a

For citrus fruits, the median and highest residue levels measured in pulp are directly considered for the risk assessment. The theoretical calculation considering the peeling factor is not considered reliable in this case.

b

In the absence of supporting data, the existing EU MRL multiplied by the conversion factor for risk assessment of 1 (and by PF if relevant) is used for indicative exposure calculations.

c

In the absence of supporting data, the existing EU MRL multiplied by the conversion factors for risk assessment derived from the metabolism study performed on laying hens is used for indicative exposure calculations.
